Andrés Iniesta

Played pretty pragmatic while Messi was apparently given license to do whatever he wanted (and with good reason), and while I don't think it was the most exciting performance by Iniesta, it just might have been his most impressive. Absolutely unplayable on the biggest stage against the best opposition he's faced all season.
PS - His assist to Messi happened to be brilliant, not just some simple play anyone makes. First he plays it to Xavi in a 1-2, and Park starts closing in on Xavi who's in space as he's nearest to him. That allows Messi to just kinda drift in space for a moment, then when Andres gets the ball back right away, he just kinda lazily drifts toward Carrick/Park like he's thinking of having a go at 'em or something, and they close the space just an extra few steps leaving Messi with the room to do his thing. Lovely setup.
